Cover art for Seymour Stein lyrics by Belle & Sebastian

Yeah, ignore my comment about the girl...I obviously got that wrong (six years ago).

This is one of my favorite B&S songs. Leaves me with a feeling of wistful longing, thinking about the choices we have to make in life (e.g., the possibility of fame vs. being true to who you are).

Also, Bob Dylan has a song "Girl from the North Country", which itself references the traditional northern-England ballad "Scarborough Fair".
